TREE NEWS update: On-chain trading terminal Genius launched a fee-funded token buyback mechanism on Genius.fun, beginning with the GSTOCK token. For GSTOCK trading pairs, 20% of fees generated by the Genius treasury will be used for buybacks. Other tokens with a market capitalization above $2 million can also apply to adopt the same buyback model.
Genius Launches Fee-Funded Token Buyback Starting With GSTOCK
Fee-funded buybacks are a notable structural shift for a trading terminal: they tie token demand to platform activity rather than to discretionary treasury spending, which can make the value accrual more legible to holders. The $2 million market-cap threshold suggests Genius is trying to scale the model beyond its own token while keeping it limited to assets with enough liquidity to absorb buybacks. Whether other tokens actually apply, and whether the fee share proves sustainable across volatile trading volumes, is the open question.
